Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter II, sentence 26

The Ard-Ri’ could look on all things with composure, and regard all beings with a tranquil eye; but it should be known that there was one deed entirely hateful to him, and he would punish its commission with the very last rigour--this was, a transgression of the Sunday.

Who acts: Ard, one deed, deed, this · What happens: look, regard, know, be, punish · To what, where: beings, Ard, commission, transgression · Speech: someone speaks here
